Korda - Essentials Kurv X Hooks

The legendary Korda Kurv X, a long-standing favourite for many a successful carp angler, has now entered the Essentials range, bringing its renowned effectiveness to a wider audience across the UK and Europe. 

With its aggressive in-turned eye and curved shank, the Essentials Kurv X offers exceptional strength with the ultimate hooking potential. Its aggressive design ensures the hook flips and secures a firm hold in the fish's mouth, even when used without shrink tube or a kicker. This makes it an incredibly versatile option for various rigs, particularly the Spinner and IQ D-rig setups.

Manufactured using our 'X' gauge wire, this version of the Kurv X is notably stronger than the standard Kurv. The robust construction is complemented by an unobtrusive black nickel finish, making it suitable for many fishing situations across the UK and Europe. The hook's point is designed for durability, allowing you to potentially catch multiple fish before having to replace it.

Essentials Kurv X hooks are available in barbed and barbless versions in sizes from 2, 4, 6 and 8, with ten hooks per packet. 

The Essentials Story:

“BASIX has evolved into Korda Essentials. Originally, I designed the range to go with the Back to Basix Masterclass, but in recent years, we've realised something. BASIX isn't really basic anymore. The range has grown so much, the kit is so good, that it was befitting a better name, and we felt Essentials was exactly it. It's all the gear you need and nothing that you don't. Whether you've just started carp fishing or you've been fishing for big 'uns for 20 years, it will stand up to the job.” Danny F
